You should sue the BRPD, and those cops. You sound like you’re convinced you have a slam dunk case. Would be pretty easy to find a “sympathetic” jury. Go for it. Do it for poor Koy.

hey Sammy, this thread is 40 pages of you repeating yourself

we get it, the first 39 pages were enough, move on bro

Sammy is an attorney?

That means Liberal Hank is now only the 2nd dumbest attorney on the site.

Lol, lots of upvotes for this nonsense.

Maybe if you didn't suck such colossal peen as a poster, you wouldn't think 2 upvotes was a lot.

Like I said, I read through the thread. Unless I missed it, the lack of mention of that is why I asked. You’d think someone arguing as persistently as he is would drop that line much farther back.

GoneFishing never said he was a cop till I asked.

True. I don’t know any of you guys but I’m still not going to lie about it.

It is a repeat of the Bubba Wallace thread where he bled all 10.5 pints from his vagina.

This was a non event and nothing “racial” happened.

The end.

Let me first say I think the officers were within their rights to detain the young men and to question them. I also think the officer had a right to draw his weapon. And the officer probably violated police policy by cursing, which I don't care much about.

Whether this was a "racial" event is a much more nuanced discussion, and I know even suggesting that on the rant will be unpopular.

So here is the nuance. Suppose when the officers arrived it was Myles Brennan and Max Johnson by the car wearing polo shirts. Would the officer's language have been the same? Would he have pulled his gun so quickly?

I do not know the answer to that question. I do think, on average, the answer would be that white young men are treated less harshly on stops like this.

I have a son their age who is white. If he was black though, and told me he was going to a party at night at a home in an exclusive white neighborhood, it would keep me up at night. My white son who gets drunk and does something dumb is going to be less likely to get shot than my black so doing the same thing.

Nuance works both ways. Most of the violent crime in New Orleans, for example, is done by young black men. I would be afraid for my young white son if he were a policeman in New Orleans. Arresting someone who you think is armed and is not cooperating is a hard and dangerous thing to do. In New Orleans black young men will be arrested more often and there will be more opportunities for bad shootings. I worry for policemen making arrests, its dangerous business. They have to make split second decisions under stressful situations and then be judged by armchair qbs.

We need more perspective on both sides of these discussions, but that is not likely to happen. I had the young, black friend of a son of mine at the house one day and some of the experiences he relayed to me he had at school and away from school near brought me to tears.

And I do know more about these stops than the average person, having tried many homicide cases. I have seen the racism young black men experience up close and personal. I have seen brave cops put their lives on the line. And I have seen all the in between.

Its nuanced. I can see how the officer may have legitimately bee afraid for his life. I can see a black parent believing a young white man would have been treated differently than his child.
